I have had both. Want comfort and speed go with the Hayabusa. Want nimble and speed go with the GSXR. They are both limited from the factory for top end speed so stock I would say top end would be the same. I do feel a higher level of comfort at high speed on the Hayabusa, it just feels more stable.

Anyone else got to the AMA Prostar races this weekend? Lots of fast Hayabusas but Ricky Gadsons on the new zx14 was insane.

Thanks for the advice guys. The more I ride it the easier it is to steer. Guess my 200 lbs helps as well but this thing really doesn't turn it that bad. I have a Ducati with full Ohlins suspenion and it's not that far off it as far as how it turns in, granted I don't ride the Hayabusa as hard...

You work for Kevin Hunt.........cool. I have had a few bikes with motors done by KWS. My buddy just bought Lee Acrees superbike from last year. Man that thing is a rocket.

Looks like he was going to turn, saw the wall and thought "I'm not going to make it" so he grabbed the front brake and it upset the bike. During cornering if you grab the front brakes the front either tucks if your leaned over enough or stands the bike up like it did his. So IMHO he grabed an...

I guess I could use shorter dog bones in the rear. I have adjustable dog bones on the bike now. The last owner had it lowered and I adjusted back to stock. How much shorter than stock should I shoot for. I could probably do a little work on the adjustable ones to shorten them up even more.

I was going to use 2 flat washers stacked to raise the upper clamp cover to drop the forks 6mm. I also read somewhere you can drop the forks 4mm without doing anything. This is a total of 10mm. Has anyone done this? How much of a difference did it make? I like the way the bike rides now, with a...

Thanks............I kind of miss the little SV it just did everthing well. I'm on A Ducati 750SS this year and it has been nothing but trouble from the start.

I have adjustable dog bones on the Hayabusa I just bought and I want to raise it back upt to stock. How long are the stock dog bones eye to eye.

I have a couple suits and I have cleaned them by putting them in a tub with hot water/soap/white vinegar and then rinse and let them sit flat on a surface and dry in the sun or if you want that custom fit wear on the bike until they dry. I was told to do this by Barnacle Bill the suit maker.

I had a WERA race license for 2 years before I got my street bike license. Always just got the learners permit and rode on that. I took my test on a 172hp GSXR1000
